"The Control Freak Revolution is a must read, must put into action, must pass on book. If every leader had this book BEFORE they started, it would have saved so much time and effort. If you are a leader or aspiring to be a leader, this book needs to be read, underlined, and kept nearby."--Randy Sebastian, CEO, Renaissance Development Corporation Leaders in business are typically criticized as control freaks. The Control Freak Revolution shows you that being a control freak is actually a good thing, and why CEOs look for leaders who can use control to increase employee and team effectiveness.
